　　语篇解读　本文是一篇科普类文章，主要讲述了“植物的特殊语言”及其功能，以及这种特殊语言对农业生产可能产生的指导意义。

　　5．A　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Plants are able to communicate with all sorts of organisms (有机体)．..They do this chemically.”可知，植物能够与其他生物通过化学方式进行交流。6．D　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“when a plant senses that it’s being eaten...on the contrary，it will release a chemical vapor...”以及文章倒数第二段中的“Those chemicals attract friendly insects that attack the pests eating the plant.”可知，当植物被昆虫吞食的时候，植物会释放一种化学蒸汽，这种化学蒸汽能够吸引有益的昆虫来袭击害虫。7．A　词义猜测题。根据上下文语境可知，植物在遭受攻击时会释放一种化学物质，这种化学物质有两种功能，一是警示危险的存在，二是发出求助信息。由此可知，此处的alert应该意为“警示，警惕”，即warn。8．C　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了“植物的特殊语言”及其功能。C项既能概括文章的主题又生动风趣，尤其是talk一词充满了拟人化的幽默感。根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
